tibet \- Tiny BDF file editor

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tibet
[ -h | -v ] [\fIbdffile\fP | \fIFONTBOUNDINGBOX\fP]
.br

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Tibet
is a tiny BDF file editor running on X.  The argument \fIbdffile\fP is
a pathname of a BDF file to be edited.  When \fBtibet\fP starts, it
shows a window for a first 128 glyphs of the font.  You can click each
glyph to edit it by external \fIbitmap\fP program which should be
installed on your system with the normal installation of X window
system.  See the online help for more detail.  The online help is
shown by hitting keys `h' or `?'.  If you invoked two \fBtibet\fPs,
the key 'c' and 'Y' allow you to copy&paste bitmap data from one
\fBtibet\fP to another.

If \fIbdffile\fP doesn't exist, \fBtibet\fP tries to parse the string
as \fIFONTBOUNDINGBOX\fP specification of the format:
.IP
WIDTH+HEIGHT[+|-]XOFF[+|-]YOFF
.PP
where, WIDTH, HEIGHT, XOFF, and YOFF are decimal numbers
corresponding to four parameters for FONTBOUNDINGBOX line of a new BDF
font file to be created.  The new BDF file is saved as the name
\fIFONTBOUNDINGBOX\fP.bdf.
.IP
Note: WIDTH should be followed by `+', not `*'.

.SH BUGS
.B Tibet
creates a working directory \fIbdffile\fP.work, and remove it on
normal exiting.  But, if \fBtibet\fP exits abnormally for some reason,
the working directory is not removed.  In that case, you can restart
\fBtibet\fP and hit `G' (get all edited glyphs) to recover what you
have done in the previous session.
